1178: Chapter 1096: Surprise 1178: Chapter 1096: Surprise “Is this trying to cook like a boiled frog?”
Feeling the gradually increasing temperature, Su Ran looked at his own skeleton which seed to have been boiled, bones glowing red, the red emitting a delicious fragrance.
If this continued, he would really beco a big pot of bone soup.
This unexpected change made Su Ran feel restless.
However, glancing at the sand puppet in front of him, which had turned a charred red, he felt a bit relieved; at least his own condition was better than that of the sand puppet.
If that creature was fine, then there was nothing to worry about.
The long three minutes finally passed, and the mouth of the well vanished on the spot.
Su Ran appeared on the sand, his entire skeleton in a state of numbness, unable to move at all.
The sand puppet, on the other hand, had transford, its entire body dyed blood-red with explosive power contained within its fra, clearly the reincarnation of a warrior, quite imposing.
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player, Skeleton, for the successful advancent of Sand’s Secret [Sand Puppet] to level LV2.”
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player, Skeleton, for the successful advancent of Sand’s Secret [Sand Shield] to level LV2.”
The system notification followed, causing Su Ran’s skeletal body to shake.
After seeing the skill properties clearly, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
[Sand Puppet] (Sand’s Secret) LV2 (10% Sand Spirit Wood Carving bonus)
Summons an iron-blood sand puppet using a large amount of sand as a dium, disappears after death, skill cooldown ti 30 minutes.
[Sand Control] (Sand’s Secret) LV2 (10% Sand Spirit Wood Carving bonus)
Forms a sand rampart as a dium, Defense 100, a certain chance to completely resist physical attacks, duration 5 minutes, skill cooldown ti 15 minutes.
“Haha, this trip to Desert Island wasn’t in vain!
Truly worthy of the Desert Spirit Spring, the effects are indeed divine!”
Su Ran laughed heartily, especially upon seeing the formidable physique of the iron-blood sand puppet, sowhat resembling that sand monster boss.
With this entrance, it was sure to catch people’s eyes!
As for the Sand Control skill, the defense had increased by half, far beyond Su Ran’s imagination.
In his view, even a slight enhancent of the sand puppet would have been great, but the system was so thoughtful, upgrading both of his sand-related skills comprehensively, wow, what a kind system!
“This Luck Value is such a great thing, wahahaha…”
Su Ran laughed heartily.
The negative impact from the complete annihilation before was also dispelled, leaving him feeling only two words, relieved!
“This Desert Island event from the system is really making a huge investnt.
It’s not hard to guess that they want to use the New Year’s hype to significantly boost the players’ capabilities, laying the groundwork for the upcoming martial arts conference.”
Once his excitent cald down to a stable state, Su Ran gained so insight, analyzing, “With so many on Pet Island, those who have the sa chance as probably aren’t few.
Those who soar might also exist.
The upcoming martial arts conference will be exciting, definitely can’t take it lightly!”
“Oh, right, Wan’er!”
Su Ran just rembered, he had been so focused on evolving his skill properties that he had inadvertently stood up Wan’er.
He hadn’t finished talking to her and had closed the friend ssage.
Hopefully, she wasn’t thinking anything wild…
Thinking of this, Su Ran hurriedly opened the friend ssage and, indeed, found that Wan’er’s icon was flashing incessantly.
“Overturning Water, where did you go?
Why aren’t you talking?”
“If you’re not willing, then forget it, we won’t make this Pet Egg public.
Just keep it.”
“Why aren’t you replying?
Are you sulking over there?”
“Overturning Water, have you run into trouble?
You didn’t die, did you?”
“Still alive?
If you are, make a sound.”
“They say good people don’t live long, but troubles linger for a thousand years, this shouldn’t be you, right?”
Seeing this, Su Ran had a headache.
So in Wan’er’s mind, he was an absolute troublemaker.
How could he be happy about that?
“Sothing ca up just now, I didn’t have ti to reply.”
“Ha, I knew it.
You’re tough to kill; how could you possibly have died!”
Creamy’s reply ca swiftly, showing that he had been keeping an eye on Su Ran’s ssages all along.
“Exactly, exactly, I’m the calamity that can’t die in a thousand years, so this little bit of ti doesn’t matter to ,” he quipped.
Su Ran replied, sounding weary and powerless.
“Whoa, just kidding, you didn’t take that seriously, did you?”
“It’s nothing, just deal with the Pet Egg however you see fit.
It was originally ant to be the guild’s spoils of war, so it’s only right for you to distribute it.”
“Yeah, yeah, Overturning Water, you’re so nice, thank you!”
“No thanks, I’m not interested in good person cards.”
Su Ran quickly steered the conversation away, “You’ve already returned to the city, aren’t you going to reveal those treasures you got?”
“You guy, I’ve already posted the pictures in the guild channel, and you didn’t see them?
You really don’t care about the guild!”
“Ah?
Then I really need to check them out; there might be sothing I can use.
I’ll co to you for a backdoor deal then.”
“Back off, no guild points, no talk!”
“Wan’er, you’re cutting off the bridge after crossing the river, that’s just heartless!”
Su Ran shook his head, amused, and opened the guild channel, instantly feeling the fiery atmosphere within.
The discussion was completely centered around the loot, without any dampened spirits from a total defeat.
He didn’t have ti to look at players bantering; he scrolled up several pages and finally saw Creamy’s screenshot of the loot.
“Good grief, you’ve got three gold pieces, several dozen silver pieces, and that’s not counting the ordinary equipnt with —this ti, the guild definitely isn’t running short on resources.”
Su Ran genuinely felt happy for Creamy; the future of Singing Song Guild looked very promising, and the players were incredibly united.
This showed that his recent efforts had paid off proportionately!
“Over a hundred special potions, six skill books, ten talismans…
Eh?
Skill books?”
Su Ran suddenly got excited and started to carefully check the skill books, hoping to find one that he could use—even if it cost him a lot of points, he would get his hands on it!
Wait a second.
He, who hadn’t participated in any guild tasks, seed to have never earned any points.
Uh, this is awkward…
“Whatever, let’s just check them out first.”
Su Ran knew that there were very few skill books that matched his requirents, especially those without class restrictions, which were incredibly rare and almost impossible to co by.
“Ice and Fire Spell, Fire Cannon, Fan Qi Wave, Blood Attack, Shield Blessing, Heart Therapy Lock Chain.”
After reviewing each of the six skill books, Su Ran’s hopes were shattered; the quality of these books was high, but unfortunately, none were suitable for him.
He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, his expectations had been too high—this undead skeleton character was definitely the unloved type, none of the equipnt or skill books suited him, oh well!
As for those talismans, Su Ran didn’t even feel like checking them further.
Since they were one-ti items, they weren’t worth much attention, so he left them to be auctioned off.
“Overturning Water, I have sothing to show you.”
Creamy, feeling that the ti was about right, sent a mysterious ssage, “There’s also a Universal Manual; interested?”
A Universal Manual?!
That was a treasure that could randomly enhance a skill by one level!
Seeing the ssage Creamy sent, Su Ran suddenly felt unsettled, though he had no eggs.
Happiness ca so suddenly, it made Su Ran feel sowhat unreal, as if he were dreaming.
